You receive a code with the box that lets you pick one game. I had to look it up since it isn't easy information to find.

Reminder that you can now buy hardware, including this bundle, directly from Nintendo using eshop funds and Costco perpetually sells eshop cards at 10% off.

This Switch 2 bundle is mainly a way to get the console plus a redeemable choice of one game, with the code scratched off in the box and redeemed in the Switch 2 store. The strongest appeal is convenience for buyers who already want the hardware, especially for Mario Kart World, Pokemon Pokopia, or other Switch 2 play. It also works with existing Switch games, and the console can be bought through Nintendo using eShop funds. The main knock is value, since the bundle is often described as only about $20 cheaper than buying separately, with some concern about the higher $500 price and limited launch library.

Save $50 more by buying Costco eshop cards. Two of the $200 (@$180) and a $100 (@90) then add to your eshop account and the purchase the bundle from the Nintendo site.
I'm looking to pull the trigger on this and I think this is the way to go, Costco sells $200 for $180 (https://www.costco.com/p/-/ninten...?langId=-1) but on there they have this warning:

Quote from Costco Site :
Your total eShop Account balance cannot exceed $250 USD
Is this really the case? Both of you seem to indicate that I can load up the full $499 (I'm in Montana so no sales tax here). I mean saving some money is better than saving no money but I'd rather not buy $500 worth of credits and end up only being able to load the $250. I have no interest in digital games (Physical collector here) but I'm willing to get a "free" game digitally.

This is correct. I bought my wife a Switch 2 in this fashion. I thought they changed something but i just checked and @malva00 is correct, the limit in the USA is $800.

Just bought a used original Xbox and some games. There is still free Xbox Live support on it through Insignia. I've been having a blast. I'm sure the Switch 2 is great but these prices are too much for me.

For California residents, this is $7-8 cheaper than Nintendo Store since NS adds electronic waste and recycling fee.

I have the Mario kart bundle version new and sealed, unopened and pokopia (new/ sealed) up on sites for online garage sales and can't get someone to bite for $600! Interesting how this is going to sell

How do you pick the game? I added to cart and can check out but don't see a way to choose.
Sorry to necro the old thread here, but Costco had an additional 5% off on the cards for their Member Week so I pulled the trigger.

Do any of you know if the code expires? I bought this for my kids but would like to wait for Christmas if possible, I'm willing to open it and hide it if the code expires but If it'll be good until the end of the year I'd rather wait on it.

Trying to decide which of the 3 games to go with, I'm leaning towards Mario Kart World personally as that's what I think my kids would enjoy (the auto steer and accelerate I think are helpful for them they played it recently at a friends house) but is this a game that comes on sale regularly? I like to buy physical copies if possible.

Believe it or not I actually bought Mario Kart 8 for the Switch as well as Zelda Link's Awakening and Breath of the Wild but never got around to buying a switch (I have a SlickDeals habit, but who doesn't). My understanding is that those games should work just right out of the box. Which is the only reason I might steer away from buying Mario Kart World (Did 8 Support the auto steer / auto accelerate?)

I am going to go hunt for Super Mario RPG as I loved that on the SNES and I believe it was re-released/re-mastered for Switch?

I bought one and don't remember it having an expiration. You scratch off the silver tab for a code, and entering the code in the switch 2 store lets you pick one of the 3 games. Since they're planning on selling this version until the end of August I imagine lots of people are going to do the same thing for Christmas presents.
I got Pokemon Pokopia and LOVE it, but it's very much a single player experience. DK Bonanza should have Co-Op. Otherwise, Mario Kart is a tried and true multiplayer game. A digital copy might be a good option too, since the cartridges are small and they could get lost if kids are playing it.
